I have a 2001 LS430 with Chrome 17" wheels - 6 spoke.
One of my Gold "L" emblems fell off my chrome center cap.
I need a replacement. My Center cap is Chrome and about 2.5" with a Raised Gold Plated L logo on it.

Would the aftermarket chrome center cap shown in the attached photo happen to be what you are looking for? Kind of a "weird" gold Lexus "L", isn't it?
Do your LS430 chrome wheels happen to look like the 16" chrome wheels that came on my 2000 LS400 Platinum Series? See the attached photo.
My understanding is that Lexus was a little late in getting OEM chrome wheel cap for the 2001 LS430 wheels to market ... so we got the funky aftermarket chrome/gold ones instead.
Much nicer OEM chrome center caps have long been available for the 16" 2001 LS430 chrome wheels -- I think I paid $80 for a set of four from Sewell Lexus in Dallas. I replaced the aftermarket chrome/gold center caps years ago with the OEM chrome ones but I've still got the aftermarket ones out in the garage in a box.

Kansas, those with the funky 'L' are made by an aftermarket company (not Lexus) and are typically used on OEM replica wheels. It's possible some dealers could have also bought those wheels to put on their cars if they had no chrome upgrades in stock, but they're all over ebay, etc.

I'll check out Sewell. Lexus of Columbus told me $80 a piece - ouch.

I purchased my 2001 ls430 new and it had the same caps on the upgraded factory chrome wheel.
One broke the other day and the dealer comped new oem silver ones for free(after I whined about off brand on new).![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I prefer the silver ones over the silver/gold a LOT.
